Backblaze/B2_Command_Line_Tool v4.0.0

4.0.0

on GitHub

Changed

• CLI b2 executable now points to the latest stable ApiVer version, b2v4, previously it pointed to b2v3.
  These means following breaking changes:
  • b2 will no longer persists credentials and other secrets on disk if credentials were passed through B2_* environment variables. To explicitly persist them and keep using local cache for better performance, user can simply call b2 account authorize
  • b2 ls and b2 rm no longer accept two positional arguments, instead accepting only B2 URI (e.g. b2://bucketName/path)
• Changed sync command exit status code from 0 to 1 if any warnings or errors were encountered during the operation.

Fixed

• Invalid unicode characters read from filesystem will no longer interrupt b2 sync
